Hey everybody. Had a 2000 f250 powerstroke for about a year now. Time to get some wheels. I like the 22x12 wheels. I was just wondering if 33s or 35s on 22 inch wheels will ride like a log wagon.
Also if they will give me any trouble with towing around an 8k lb trailer on a bumper hitch from time to time.

Also what lift would be needed? 2.5 inch leveling or 4 inch lift?

I have 18x12's with 33x15.50's on my 2003 with a 4" lift and they required trimming to clear. So I'd say with 35's either keep the tire narrow (like a 12.50) and a 4" lift would work or go with a 6" lift just to be safe. Every truck is different really.

I don't think I'd want to go more that 20's with 35's. But I think you'd need a 4" lift to clear 35's and with the right backspacing.

Personally, I like 18's with 35's and 20's not until you get to 37's. Regardless of ride and towing, too big of wheels just doesn't look good.

imo perfect wheel/tire combos go 33/16 35/18 37/20 and 40/22
have you ever seen a 33 on a 22in wheel? looks like a lo-pro car tire

as for lift, you can get 35s with a 3in leveling kit and tires will barely rub, 4inch your good and 6in for 37s, anything over 14in wide tires they will rub on the leaf springs up front

I would go with 18'' wheels. You will have that much more tire for a better ride. 4 inch would be fine with 35. I have 6 inch lift with 18'' wheels 37'' tires rides alot better than the 20'' wheels. Are tires are cheaper for smaller wheels to. long term thing to think about
